Honestly I just wanna fly a A-10 with my friend

vapid root
#
  • already have 2 a-10 posts
  • an a-10 doesn't add anything to the game gameplay wise (as stated in the #faq )

CAN WE PLEASE WITH THE A-10 POSTS

#

It's always A-10 A-10 A-10. Bomber bomber bomber

#

Idk what to think. Part of me wants Baha to make the A-10 just so that the Thunderbolt II enthusiasts would stop asking for it...OH WAIT HE DID IT'S CALLED THE AV-42C KESTREL RAAAAAAHHHHHHH

late python
#

stop saying the 42 is an A-10, it isn’t

#

I mean i guess

#

Its an attack but its not very similar to the a10 other than the gun

#

An a10 doesnt fit but still the kestral isnt the warthog

late python
#

you can’t say a Bradley is better than an Abrams, different types of vehicles

cinder token
#

Point is, what would the A-10 add that the Kestrel already do better?

late python
proud grotto
#

Im kinda against an a-10 until baha cant add any new planes that have a gimmick

#

The old mod was fun tho

late python
#

never played it

late python
#

also there is a 2 seater A-10

#

single YA-10B prototype bit still

proud grotto
#

Only 1

#

The a-10 out of all the aircraft probably needed it the most idk why they didnt do it

late python
#

yeah thats true, could have made the A-10 all weather

#

pretty big deal

proud grotto
#

A-10a is still an abomination

#

No iff, needs binoculars, and needs guys on the ground with cat toys for paveways

late python
#

it’s an airplane that’s meant to work with the Army

#

back in the day, the plan was to have half of the pilots in an A-10 squadrons go to the army in case of war

#

also OA-10A

proud grotto
#

Yeah it generally did the job -blue on blue- but the a-10c is a pretty great aircraft afaik

#

How tf you do the cross out text

late python
#

like you did i don’t know

proud grotto
#

Whatever

#

Im on mobile

late python
#

The only reason its not an Army aircraft is the key west agreements

dull dew
#

if baha wanted a fixed wing jet ASW platform, it could easily double as a two seat low-speed CAS aircraft

#

that is a strange set of requirements though

#

and the AV-42 could easily fill that role

worthy ridge
#

Two seater AV-42, boom done

proud grotto
#

Av-42 sbs seater

dull dew
#

honestly, that'd be dope

proud grotto
#

^

dull dew
#

its so deceptively small though

proud grotto
#

I think you can fit 2 pilots

worthy ridge
#

The 42 is not small lmao

dull dew
#

it really is

#

gimme a minute

worthy ridge
#

Keep in mind, my Blackhawk model is 35% larger than the IRL one

image.png image.png image.png
#

The 42 is large

proud grotto
#

The fuselage isn't as big as the 26 but it's taller and wider

#

(Length wise)

proud grotto
dull dew
#

this is definitely subjective, but its roughly the same size as the F-45

image.png
#

which is somewhat small

proud grotto
#

The 45 is thin

worthy ridge
#

From the front it's hilariously large. Of course, it has to be, seeing as it is a Transport craft.

image.png image.png
#

Compare to F-15C and A-10C

dull dew
#

yeah its thick

#

bulky

proud grotto
#

42's cockpit goes into the 45's fusealage

worthy ridge
#

It's the fact that the 26 and 24 are laughably large

#

And the 94. The 94 is really long

dull dew
#

i guess its just small relative to the really big things

worthy ridge
#

The 24 has a 70 Ft wingspan, 6 feet wider than the F-14D.It's also 4 feet longer than a Super Tomcat.

proud grotto
#

That's insane

worthy ridge
#

And as stated previously, the F/A-26B is 30% larger than an equivalent F-15E

#

In every dimension

proud grotto
#

Baha scale

dull dew
#

the T-55 has a smaller wingspan than a Cessna-172

#

and two seats

#

so like, i dont doubt it could hold two pilots

worthy ridge
#

Again, silly baha scale. The T-55 is only slightly (less than 5%) larger than the T-50 IRL, less height, (which I can't model because I don't have the landing gear modeled)

#

So either, the 24 and 26 need smallened slightly, or give us an actual large scale transport craft

#

Reduce the Eye to Hook distance of them

dull dew
#

thats so real

worthy ridge
#

Make the 26's landing gear shorter, remove the capacity for most large size weapons on the belly.

#

E Z

dull dew
#

the hooks feel really different between T-55/F-45 and FA-26/EF-24

worthy ridge
#

But yeah. The 42 could realistically be kept the same size, if not made slightly larger with increased wing area, made an optional two seater, be able to carry perhaps up to 12 infantry rather than 8 or so, add an A/G radar, make the model look a bit newer / nicer, and give the players long requested features. Keep the GAU-8 so people have "muh A-10 BRRRRRRT"

#

And add 👏 a 👏 third 👏 wing 👏 pylon!

dull dew
#

dude all those features might honestly make it mainstream again

#

the wings are really small

#

A/G radar combined with the full weapons variety of the av-42 would be great for so many missiosn

worthy ridge
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯
I'm just an idea guy. What do I know? One thing for sure is that the Eye never lies.

a-10 isn't supposed to be quick

#

T55 is my favorite aircraft and is not powerful compared to the others

#

but it feels more real

#

a10 shouldn't be powered with afterburner capable engines

#

and should have that longer wingspan ofc

proud grotto
#

I somewhat agree, however I believe baha should wait until after major addition updates that add planes with their own gimmicks and such

#

But it's his game though, so

versed nexus
#

I want something fast and agile

#

mach 1.2 minimum

#

:)

proud grotto
#

Stall speed of mach 1.2

versed nexus
#

??? 😭

#

no like as in top speed

#

I want more cool planes

proud grotto
#

I know im saying it should be a stall speed of mach 2

#

Mach 15 plane

worthy ridge
#

I think we have speed covered. We need slower more versatile or transport / logistics focused aircraft with additional ASW or AEW&C capability.

late python
#

42 redesign+rework would be great overall. make it look good and more capable

#

i don’t know about 2 seats tho, i think there is a reason there all DLC

solar sinew
#

I'm speaking for the future

solar sinew
#

The argument that the 42 is the a10 just is wrong

#

A10 is a slow machine

fair mural
solar sinew
#

Also I'm pretty sure the a10 has some tech that makes the gun more accurate

#

Stabilizes the aircraft or something

#

Could be wrong

late python
versed nexus
#

😭

#

of course a mach 1.2 plane is possible

#

dude the EF24 does mach 3.1

#

😭

versed nexus
#

you can be fast and effective

#

the F15 proved this

#

😭

#

the reason modern planes aren't all that fast is because of supercruising

#

it's more effective to just cruise at mach 1.2 than go any faster than that without afterburner

late python
versed nexus
#

I didn't mean stall speed

#

😭

late python
#

yeah, but he understood M1.2 minimum as minimum speed (so stall speed)

dull dew
#

wrong person actually

#

hold on

#

crunchy was

solar sinew
#

Is it even possible for something to be traveling at 1.2 when just cruising

versed nexus
#

FA26

solar sinew
#

Oh man I read that wrong

#

I was reading that at 4 am

#

I got Mach and g force mixed up

proud grotto
#

I just read it wrong

magic fiber
#

Why have two seat a10 when there is already 9 seat av42

#

That's like 4.5 times more seats

It's average

wraith smelt
dull dew
#

i could see something like the A-10 being viable if the AtG combat is reworked heavily

#

to where you need to be more thoughtful in your attacks and use weapons more purposefully

wraith smelt
dull dew
#

like better damage models for ground units

wraith smelt
#

also yea an a-10 would absolutely work in this game even as is it role is just filled already

dull dew
#

rn theres no point in taking 30mm rounds

#

small weapons can kill a lot more than they should be able to

wraith smelt
dull dew
#

also trenches

wraith smelt
#

yea imo 20mm should not be able to even damage a mbt from front aspect or shallow angles

boreal tangle
#

once again the stupid fucking A10 post..

dull dew
#

unhelpful

boreal tangle
#

just the F/A26

wraith smelt
#

I empathies with the people making these suggestion, the a-10 mod was dope and it would certainly work and be fun, just redundant

boreal tangle
#

just put mavericks and shit

#

plus

#

just use the f45 for ground attack

wraith smelt
#

ehhh tbh agm-145 spam is mega boring for anti tank and armored vehicle missions

dull dew
#

real

#

its way too powerful

#

and thoughtless

#

just aim and click

#

it makes sense to kill IFV and whatnot but im not sure about tanks

wraith smelt
dull dew
#

AtG rework

Trenches
Smoke screens/pods
flak
Directional armor
more

dull dew
#

it is still really lame

wraith smelt
#

thats the future, whenever the 35 actually replaces the a-10c, actually wait can the 35 even use the brimstone irl?

dull dew
#

not sure, but the dod has their own variant

#

i think AGM-172

#

AGM-179

#

same targeting system, similar warhead, idk about ranges and whatnot

#

Semi-active laser and millimeter-wave radar

wraith smelt
#

basically just the usa wanting the missile but not wanting to touch nasty british stuff

dull dew
#

yeah i think so

#

its only used by the marine corps

#

so F-35B, which makes a lot of sense

a-6 and a-7 when

I played through the warthog in the desert campaign with the 26b and the old A-10 mod and man there just isnt anything like it
